Gyrotropic-nihility in Ferrite-semiconduc- Tor Composite in Faraday Geometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
The reflection, transmission spectra and the polarization transformation of linearly polarized waves in the ferrite-semiconductor multilayer structure are considered. In the long-wavelength limit, the effective medium theory is applied to describe the studied structure as a uniaxial anisotropic homogeneous medium defined by the effective permittivity and effective permeability tensors. The investigations are carried out in the frequency band where the real parts of the diagonal elements of both the effective permittivity and permeability tensors are close to zero. In this frequency band the studied structure is referred to a gyrotropic-nihility medium. An enhancement of polarization rotation, impedance matching, backward propagation are revealed.

Plane waves with negative phase velocity in Faraday chiral mediums.
The propagation of plane waves in a Faraday chiral medium is investigated. Conditions for the phase velocity to be directed opposite to the direction of power flow are derived for propagation in an arbitrary direction; simplified conditions which apply to propagation parallel to the distinguished axis are also established. These negative phase-velocity conditions are explored numerically using ...
متن کاملFe b 20 02 Faraday rotation and sensitivity of ( 100 ) bismuth - substituted ferrite garnet films
We have investigated the Faraday rotation of in-plane magnetized bismuth-substituted ferrite garnet films grown by liquid phase epitaxy on (100) oriented gadolinium gallium garnet substrates. The Faraday spectra were measured for photon energies between 1.7-2.6 eV. To interprete the spectra, we use a model based on two electric dipole transitions, one tetrahedral and one octahedral. Furthermore...
متن کاملNovel nonreciprocal materials based on magnetic photonic crystals
Magnetic photonic crystals are spatially periodic dielectric composites with at least one of the constitutive components being a magnetically polarized material. Magnetic polarization, either spontaneous or induced, is always associated with nonreciprocal circular birefringence (Faraday rotation), which can bring qualitatively new features to the electrodynamics of photonic crystals. If the geo...

optics. They permit to mitigate the influence of parasitic reflections of electromagnetic signals from non-ideally matched components because the reflected light causes instabilities of lasers and amplifiers. However, the traditional optical isolators and circulators have rather large dimensions, for example, the ferrite isolators based on Faraday effect have the length of several millimeters [...
متن کاملChiral electromagnetic waves at the boundary of optical isomers: Quantum Cotton-Mouton effect
We demonstrate that the boundary of two optical isomers with opposite directions of the gyration vectors (both parallel to boundary) can support propagation of electromagnetic wave in the direction perpendicular to the gyration axes (Cotton-Mouton geometry). The components of electromagnetic field in this wave decay exponentially into both media. The characteristic decay length is of the order ...
